jack2964 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have fished over 2 years in this reservoir and never seen anyone caught Tilapia of this size until y'day. I would love to catch these on light tackle, anyone knows what is the best method for tilapia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack2964 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 They are big but the pic is distorted he holds his hands towards the camera. True, but these are the biggest I've ever seen them. Using the bloke's hands as a frame of reference helps in sizing the fish. Anyway, I know they will take 'lam' (dough balls) but I'd rather drop shot using Texas or Carolina rigs with rubber/plastic worms. Would like to hear if anyone has had success using fake worms.

impulse Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've caught quite a few on the fly at Pilot 111. Mostly bead head nymphs or similar. But they're a by-catch. I'm after the Pacu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkey Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Round my way worm seems to work with a dough ball round the feeder Never bigger than 1 kg though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbkk Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) The common method is the little feeder coil with about 5 or 6 little hooks popped up by Styrofoam. Bait can be bread with the various floured additives or a fermented lam mix. Its lam which has been in the heat for months.
